Two men have been jailed for the murder of man in a Northampton churchyard last year.

Mark Lewis and Michael Francis were sentenced to over 40 years between them for killing Jamie McMahon.

Mr McMahon was attacked by the pair in the St Giles churchyard after a night out with friends last October.

We are pleased with the significant jail terms handed down to Lewis and Francis. They are both extremely dangerous individuals who targeted a young man who was on his way home from an evening out with friends, for no other reason than to steal from him. Hopefully these lengthy prison sentences will provide some closure to Jamie’s family, who have been left heartbroken by this senseless murder.”
